The minimum wage in Georgia is $5.15 per hour, although employers covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) must pay their employees at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. The FLSA applies to employers with at least $500,000 in annual sales and those who are engaged in interstate commerce.
